Syllabus

<p>Criminal Law — Appeal—Review — Bill op Exceptions — Homicide.</p> <p>The ruling of the trial judge that no overt act or hostile demonstration has been proved to his satisfaction, and therefore, that no proper foundation' has been laid for the admission of proof of prior communicated threats, previous difficulties, or the dangerous character of the deceased, is reviewable on appeal, when all the evidence on which the trial judge acted is brought up by bill of exceptions; but such ruling will not be disturbed unless it be made to appear that the judge a quo has abused the sound legal discretion vested in him. State v. Feazell, 116 La. 264, 40 South. 698, reaffirmed.</p> <p>[Ed. Note. — For cases in point, see vol. 26, Cent. Dig. Homicide, § 698.]</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
